A fledgling force of Syrian military defectors struck a government security complex on the outskirts of the capital Wednesday, a bold act reflecting the confidence of the opposition forces.
The group, called the Free Syrian Army, said it attacked an air intelligence base in Harasta and planted "powerful explosions inside and around the compound that shook its foundations."
Activists said the army used rocket-propelled grenades and the complex was damaged. The Syrian army also said there are reports of damage at the complex. Harasta is an eastern suburb of the capital, Damascus.
It was one of several actions reported by the opposition force, which has recently emerged as an important factor in the opposition movement as more and more soldiers have left the Syrian army. The opposition force also reported clashes with troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad in several towns.

So if they start to gain some traction and occupy some defendable territory, does NATO supply supporting airstrikes, like we did in Libya?
Fledgling. I like that word. I think it is one of my favourite words. Fledgling.
Debating the story presented is only ONE side of the issue. Debating the reporting or what information is being given in that piece, is another. Question the Media at all times!
The same demons that armed and funded those al qaeda rebels in Libya are doing the same thing in Syria.
I would like to know how many people we had to kill to save them from ghadafy? will we now do the same to syria? Nato is most likely in lybia stealing oil and Gold the whole thing makes me sick.always picking on mall countries
Maybe some people should go and live in syria and than you would have something to complain about !!!!!
